Great news, I'm looking forward to it 

2.NEW: German Upright 1904 & Keys Special 6/15/2022 4:27:10 PM

Hello,

could you please point me to the videos about the new Fazioli?
Thanks

Now I have to decide if I upgrade my D-274 to full, or if I buy the CFX, the BI or this new German Upright... Decisions, decisions...

I have one doubt about the demos, and the way it is handled with the iLok vs the old eLicenser way. I have already placed the order for all the demos and already have the serial numbers of each piano in myVSL/myOrders, but I don't have HD space to install all of them simultaneously. In the new iLok scheme, the free demos are only available to download until the 18th july, or can I download and activate the 30 days after the 18th July?

Any musical coloring between traditional layers is possible, by taking advantage of new technologies that grow as we improve our software and recording approaches over time. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't understand: how many velocity layers have been recorded for Synchron Woodwinds?
And what timbre adjust does? It's an artificial filtering/eq?

The BBO Woodwinds have been integrated with all velocity layers, we have just slightly adapted the preset structure to allign it with the Synchron logic. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,
I can't find anywhere info regarding the amount of recorder velocity layers for Synchron Woodwinds, why it's not advertised?

5.NEW Synchron Woodwinds 12/9/2021 1:59:01 PM

Hello Paul,

congratulation for this new library!
Could you please tell how many velocity layers does it come with?

6.Hearing a Flange in SYNCHRON STRINGS PRO 11/26/2021 9:47:09 AM

Hello,

I had the same issue highlighted in the mp3 file and the cause was an improper manual setup of either my DAW or instrument patches in Synchron Player (colliding MIDI channels, colliding CCs...).

Regarding instead the Xfade related one I read on another forum that somebody resolved it by zero-ing the humanize tuning slider. I'll try that as soon as possible.

7.VE Pro 7 max CPU usage on idle 8/10/2021 3:45:07 PM

Hello Falcowe,

thanks for your reply.

These are the characteristics of my computer:
• iMac 27" 2020
• Intel i9-10910 3.6 GHz 10-core
• 128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 RAM (~35 GB free RAM during project running)
• Internal NVMe SSD with both OS, applications and libraries samples
• DAW tested: Cubase 11 Pro and Studio One 5.3 Pro
• Sample rate: 44100
• Bit depth: 32 float

These are VE Pro 7 settings:
• 7 running instances on
• 3 threads per instance
• 23 MIDI ports per instance
• 8 audio outputs per instance
• 4 audio inputs per instance
• MIR Pro latency: 1024
• MIR Pro IR cache: 2 GB

I tried using a different computer (laptop) with lower specs but the issue is still there.
I have installed a third-party CPU monitor application and the strange thing is that the usage indicator of each virtual thread is always incredibly low, but the fan keep spinning like crazy and macOS internal activity indicator application shows the posted numbers (~300% idle - ~600% playback).
Looking at my computer specs it should not have those kind of problems, and it should not have as much thermal throttling since the the CPU usage never reaches full cores 100%.
I noticed that the CPU frequency is always around ~4.4GHz, could be that the culprit?

8.VE Pro 7 crashes on DAW connection 8/3/2021 7:38:28 AM

Hello,

I'm always having weird crashes as soon as my DAW project connects to a VE Pro 7 server project.
Two times on three it crashes and the only thing to do is manually killing the Synsopos process from my computer activity monitor, because if I don't do that and try restarting VE Pro 7 it hangs indefinitely!
I really hope we no longer will have to deal with Synsopos anymore once VSL will transition to iLOK.

Hope you can help. 

9.VE Pro 7 max CPU usage on idle 8/3/2021 7:33:49 AM

Hello,

as soon as I start playback on my DAW (connected to a VE Pro 7 server project) I notice VE Pro 7 filling up CPU usage (626% on a 10 cores CPU!) and my computer fan spinning like crazy at maximum speed.
Buffer size is set to maximum and all of my VSL instruments preload are set to maximum too.
Stopping playback does not turn my computer back to normal: VE Pro usage remains at 276% and fan continues spinning at maximum speed.
The only thing to do to stop that is closing VE Pro/DAW project 

My computer is using an Intel 10 cores CPU, 128GB RAM and internal NVME drive to store instruments samples.
Hope you can help.

10.Studio One 5 : The sustain controller appear as ctrl1-65... 7/19/2021 9:59:35 AM

Hello Andreas,

any news on the VST3 issue?

11.!! SYNCHRON BRASS !! 7/9/2021 6:57:59 AM

Hi VSL,

I noticed from the contents page that the soft sustains from BBO Zodiac are missing in the 12 horns and 9 trombones instruments of Synchron Brass. Is that correct?

12.!! SYNCHRON BRASS !! 7/7/2021 6:34:08 AM

Hello Paul,

that's fantastic and very welcome news!
Could you please detail the amount of velocity layers available for the different instruments/articulations?

Thanks

13.NEW: Synchron Elite Strings - Beyond Awesome 4/8/2021 1:28:16 PM

Hello Paul,

could you please tell how many dynamic layers does Synchron Elite Strings come with?
Thanks.

14.Studio One 5 : The sustain controller appear as ctrl1-65... 3/22/2021 10:35:51 AM

Hello,

the problem is only related to Synchron Player and VE Pro,
because Vienna Instruments Pro shows up the correct MIDI CC names.
I kindly ask VSL to check what differs in their implementation between Synchron Player and Vienna Instruments Pro with Studio One MIDI CC binding.

Thanks

15.New Studio One 5.2 and Synchron Keyswitch/Variation feature 3/10/2021 2:17:42 PM

I have just tried using the Studio One special offer code from VSL but it doesn't work 

Is there anybody who has encountered the same problem?

 

UPDATE: solved

16.Logic/VEP7 AU3 Articulation Feature 3/3/2021 6:06:18 PM

Seem to be something familiar to Cubase users about the articulation display in this pic? Have Apple nicked Steinberg's Expression Maps feature now?

Logic adepts will know the answer.

I'll explain later.

(The pic attached is a grab from my Retina screen, it won't display inline in this forum without spoiling the necessary resolution; sorry, it has to be downloaded.)

WOW, I can't believe it's finally possible to do that in Logic 

I'm looking forward to your explanation

Herb Tucmandl made these decisions in order to create stream-lined version of our products that allow a quick overview and high compatibility between sections. 

I can't make any promises at this point, but we will discuss how we can "bring those articulations back" and integrate them with the SYNCHRON-ized versions. 

Best,
Paul

Great, I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks

18.SYzd Appassionata Strings and 'sul G' 3/2/2021 9:32:00 PM

I also terribly miss a lot of other articulations from VI Appassionata Strings, such as the useful crescendos and diminuendos, staccato variations, harshes, legato slur, legato sfz and more.

Those are very great omissions and I wonder why VSL decided to remove them from Synchron-ized Appassionata Strings.

Please bring them back.

19."MIR Unprocessed" mixer presets for SYNCHRON-ized products! 2/24/2021 8:30:58 AM

Originally Posted by: Paul Go to Quoted Post

We just added new mixer presets to all SYNCHRON-ized products (including our SYNCHRON-ized Special Editions). which makes it more comfortable to integrate those instruments with MIR Pro. 

The whole Synchron Player mixer is reset for this purpose, so that you're ready to apply the MIR magic to dry samples. 

What is reset?

  • EQ
  • Impulse Response
  • Algo Reverb
  • Panorama
  • Volume

Find all SYNCHRON-ized Library Updates in MyVSL and the changelogs here. 

Best, 
Paul

 

Hello Paul,

great news!
Are these for Synchron-ized strings only? I can't find any recent update for Synchron-ized Woodwinds with the MIR unprocessed mixer preset.
Thanks

- current notebook i5 8250U @1.8GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVMe SSD (2-3 mics work fine @128 buffer size).

1) What exact version of Windows 10 are you running?
2) Are you running stock Windows, or did you already optimized any settings related to performance and energy consumption, data-collection...?
3) Are you using ASIO driver?
4) What audio interface are you using at what buffer size?

Best, Ben

Hi Ben,

thanks for your reply.
Both of the computer I tested was Mac systems (Catalina and BigSur) with integrated audio card, no external audio interface

There is a question with the CPU - Meter. The CPU will be max to 12% or 13 %, but the red Peak starts (do nothing on the fresh started computer) with 42 %. Just hit the pedal will rise up to 87% without playing a note. While playing it is about 100% fortunately without any drops...

Not a big deal,  the sound is perfect, but it looks a bit strange to me...others?

Win10pro / / 32GB RAM / GTX 1080 / SanDisk SDSSDH3 500GB / 10 Fingers / 1 Brain

I have never been able to play live ANY of the Synchron Pianos... I tried first on a 6-core i7 with 16GB RAM and internal NVMe and I was not even able to complete a piece execution with the Room-Mix mic only because of continuous CPU spikes. Then I tried a 6-core i9 with 32GB RAM and internal NVMe and guess what? Room-Mix mic was ok, but adding another mic produced the much hated CPU spikes again!
In both cases I set the buffer at 64 (since with higher it's impossible to play live) and the preload size to maximum (32768).
If one would play only pedal-less pieces than he MIGHT be able to use more mics, but... seriously?
I've read on another popular forum of people having CPU spikes even on a 2019 16-core Mac Pro!
To me and with my equipment, Synchron Pianos are currently unusable for live playing :(

I'd very like to know the exact setup that VSL and their demo contributors used to play and record their audio demos.

22.Typing Problem VSL Forums ONLY 2/8/2021 8:16:14 AM

Hello,

that probably depends on the text editor they implemented, which create a new paragraph each time you press the ENTER key.
To avoid that extra empty line simply press SHIFT+ENTER instead of ENTER

23.SYNCHRON BÖSENDORFER 280VC - AVAILABLE NOW 2/3/2021 6:31:17 PM

I'd looove a VSL sampled Fazioli 308!!

24.SYNCHRON BÖSENDORFER 280VC - AVAILABLE NOW 2/2/2021 8:27:55 PM

Hello Paul,

will there be demo licenses of 280VC before the promotional price expires?
Thanks

Hi Paul,

many thanks, using Legato Agile on the first note and regular Legato on the following ones solved my problem!
